location6 3.1
views6 2.3
cck6 1.0
gmap6 1.1
I have set up a simple view to filter and display node information(location) based on Taxonomy terms; I can filter the info centered on longitude and latitude input from CCK(see attached file v.png). This works(one problem is I only can get it to work with Views->TOOL->Disable javascript with Views. When i enable it the user can not see the long/lat fields to fill them out).
Features I would like:
1. What i need is a way to let the user input a address that gets geocoded so that thy do not have to know there specific longitude and latitude location to filter info from with in the views module. my application needs to center the search with in feet so the postal code option wont work for me.
2. It would be great if the Location: Distance / Proximity filter could have a option to display a colored transparent layer on a gmap representing the area being filtered with a marker at the center of the area.
3. I wish I could get all this to work with out a page refresh or populate the map and table info in a consecutive time pace so the user could see the information uploading real time.
I have been looking for any information and modules to extend this with out any luck. Thank you for your work/ help in advance.

yesct commentedtagging.
I wonder if the general idea of geo-coding user entered info, and using the lat/long result might be useful to get other types of proximity search to work too, like zip codes... hmmm

marshallexcavating commentedInputing Zip codes adresses, country cods, ect. is geocoded and returnes a longitude and latitude within gmaps API (see attached file a.png); If only we could simply incorporate the JavaScript in to drupal and simple hook/send the lat/long results in to views with out a brain hemorrhage this would be a non issue.
YesCt do you know of a good reference that explains/example to simply send javascript output into viewsl?

nickl commentedI was unable to get an exposed Distance/Proximity filter to work.
Although its configured to be optional, no data is shown in either a table or gmap styled view.
Talk about brain hemorrhaged...

geerlingguy commentedSubscribe. Zip codes are nice, but would be nicer to allow addresses to get instant feedback :-)

gregglesThe needs review status is for issues that have a patch. This seems to have just suggestions but not really code.

ankur commentedChanging version to 7.x-4.x, since that's where new features are being considered.
